Parade = Basics block on steroids.
Parade = seirous hearing loss (at least it did when I was 3rd soprano and had to march directly in front of the baritones, or "blare-a-tones".

After all, Bluecoats and Crown had narration in their shows and they didn't get nearly the amount of negative feedback.
its about quality - Bluecoats and Crown did it well. Cadets.........not very well. It was not integrated and really did not add to the show. Still no excuse to boo, though.

Compare narration to Flugelhorns nowadays.
Flugelhorns have always been better than narration! (check my username)

i was trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with this picture, and then i realized...the gauntlets, i really love the black ones.. lol.
All white - kind of looks like pajamas. But yes, nice feet! Nice echelons, too.

Sorry, but this whole thread reads like a bunch of sour grapes.
I found that "effect" annoying and detracting from the show. Is it possible BD LOST a tenth or so because of it??????
Win with dignity. Lose with dignity. It's one of the lessons that drum corps is supposed to teach.
That would certainly include not accusing a corps of "cheating" without any evidence. "Cheating" is a pretty strong word, implying gaining an unfair advantage by breaking the rules. You have no evidence of either rule breaking or an unfair advantage, cowtown.

You mean like these kids who joined in October and would be on the field by the next summer?
Oh yeah, I know what you mean!

Gazackly!

Right you are, Keith. Just off the top of my head I can count at least 13 active competing Drum Corps from NYC alone. But I just googled and came up with an incredible article written in 2006 where the guy lists all the once were drum corps that are now inactive or folded the number is 1241!
I was going to paste the list but you can see it for yourself at: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Re...6/msg01031.html
Sorry for going so far off topic.
Puppet
Oh, I think that is very much on topic, Puppet. There used to be so many corps, many of them marching members as young at 9 or 10 years old. I was 12 when I started.

Stop it Mike...you're making me hungrier than I already am..
That donut place in Seattle sounds good though..(If I ever get back there)
Pat
Yes, Top Pot is great. Don't count on coming to Seattle for a drum corps show this summer, though. Even though there is a show called the Seattle Music Games (http://www.nwmusicgames.org/) [well, OK, the show seems to have two names, neither describing the city it is actually held in], its in Hillsboro, Oregon, about 190 miles away. Is this a record for geographic misnaming of a show?

A bottle of suncreen...SPF 45.
Or, to go old school, a piece of peeled sunburned skin from pre-sunscreen days.

After 4 years in BD, and two championships, I could see the activity was leaving me behind talent-wise. I was a kid from the neighborhood (grew up in Concord) and everyone else was starting to be music majors, serious musicians, etc. Sometimes I wish I had marched (could have done 3 more years), but I went to college, started doing lots of other interesting stuff, and can't say its my greatest regret not to have finished up as an age-out.

Ah yes, the Hound. I think its identity is confirmed by the "#2" by the drivers' window.
Speaking of things going out the window, I remember a ziploc baggy of purple vomit (after some blueberry pie at a truckstop in the Rocky Mountains) being passed to the back of the Hound for disposal via defenstration. That was probably in '78. Good luck using the wipers to remove that from your windshield!
I killed this thread - sorry.

OK, Drum Corps Bus Folks
Here's your chance to have your own.
Only driven weekends by a little old lady from Concord...

The opening scene of "2001: Space Odyssey" depicts the first time a corps director discovered the hash marks were missing!

Man, BD had '57 senicruisers for the first half of '83. Those things were awesome!. Now if they had just WORKED, that would have been the best!
BD had them for many years - they were old and beat up when I joined BDA in '78.
